THE GREAT NATIONAL GAME.
Cincinnati and Indianapolis Will Play
To-Day in the First-Named City.

Home Team-An Experts Construction of
the New Rules-0ther Baseball News.

The Indianapolis players left for Cincinnati
last evening at Gas o'clock, where they will play
a return game with the team of that city this
afternoon. 1t had been decided not to go until
this morning, but afterwards it was considered
advisable TO make the trip earlier. thus enabling
the men to use the forenoon in prac-
tce. Bassett. of Center Falls. r. l.;
Hackel, of Cam bridge, Mass, and Healey,
came in yesterday morning, and went with the
club. There will be some change in the playing
positions Healey will pitch and Meyers catch.
Both have records and expected to do first
class work. So far as determined last evening.
they will play as follows: Healey, pitcher; Mey-
ers. catcher; Shomberg. first base; Bassett, sec
ond base; Denny, third base; Gasscock, short-stop
Seery, left field; Quinn center. and Cahill
right field. McGeachy, one of the strongest
men in the team, is expected 70 join the club
in the morning, and if So he will be utilized.
The putting in Of several new men in to-day 8
game, it is expected, will be of some disadvan-
taee to the club, but still Manager Burnham
went away fully counting on a recovery of what
Cincinnati got here.
The fact that the home club lost its first two
games is no evidence that it is not strong team
The men composing it were among the best in
the League last year, and little more practice
will show that they have lost no ground. Glass
cock and Denny have no superiors in the
League, and. with but few exceptions, the per-
centage of the other players was high.

THE FUEL QUESTION.
Why II WIN Take Care OF self for Some
Thousands of Years to Come.

u DOInG
Thousands of Years TO Come.
Just now the most absorbing
question in many localities in thi s
country has relation to the proha-
bilities of finding natural gas. Tho
gas fever Of the present day bears q
striking resemblance Of the oil fever
of twenty-five years ago. Companies
are being formed TO bore for gas in
most places where there is reasonable
prospect of finding it, and in many
places where the probabilities are very
remote. If half the accounts published
about great finds Of natural gas werc
true 1t might be expected that an en-
tire revolution in the fuel problem was
imminent But while gas may havo
been found everywhere that it is re-
ported to have been, great many have
learned by unpleasant experience that
it did not pay to find 1t. Striking gas
that flows at light pressure, ooz es
out, so to speak, is an improbable ex-
perience that has aggravated q good
many searches. But occurrences of
this kind arc heralded by the press and
multiplied in the Imagination. In this
way many places get the reputation Of
being blessed with gas fuel, when in
reality enough gas will never bo
brou ght to tho surface to do them any
good. or much harm. except in loss
of a few thousand dollars in
fruitloss endeavors TO bring
about the impossible. The places
where natural gas is found so as to be
of any great value are much fewer
than is popularly believed. While
there is economy in the use Of natural
gas compared with coal, the difference
in cost is not so great rs is generally
represented. The difference is mainly
in tho greater convenience of the gas.
greater cleanliness and economy of
room. In some places the price Of gas
is yet kept low, but as the piping for
aud distribution of gas is fast getting
into the hands of large companies.
there is, reasoning from analogy,
every reason to believe that the cost to
consumers will be mainly governed by
tho price Of coal. But even then the
matter of convenience will make it
favorite fuel for many purposes, and
will doubtless excite inventors to de-
wise better means of making cheap
gas from coal; this, it is believed by
many, will be in few years the fa-
vorite fuel when large quantities are
used. In the mean time there is no
reason for manufacturers who are sit
uated so as to get cheap coal to con-
template the extinction of their busi-
ness through the composition of nat
ural gas. With such abundance of
coal, so easily brought to the surface,
the fuel question in this country will
take care of itself for some thousands
ofyears to come. american Mdchinist.

why 1t Prevails to Creator Extent In
Winter Than In Summer.
Discussing the distribution oftYphoid
fever in Oldham. DR.. Niven, the medi.
cal officer Of health, refers to the we'll,
known tendency of this disease to pre-
vail in the colder rather than in the
warmer months. In the case of his
district he interprets It by explaining
that there is a general influence in
operation which is for the most part
combined with influences acting spe-
cially in the winter months. That
general influence he describes as either
the admission of sewer air into houses
by means Of defective drain arrange.
incnts, or the action of polluted subsoil
water or the Two combined. Open
doors and windows in summer
reduce TO minimum the
evils thus resulting But in the winter
injurious emanations are drawn into
dwellings by the aid Of internal warmth
of the fires, and the foul air is penned
in by reason Of closed doors and win
dows. This explanation has often
been referred to by various officers OF
health, and the circumstances described
must be regarded as having an inn
portant bearing both upon typhoid
fever and other conditions of health.
Ventilation of houses is as much needed
in winter as In summer, and we should
like to see provided bylaw which re-
quires every home to be built on site
covered with layer of good cement
concrete everywhere adopted and car
ried out By such means alone can
the suction into dwellings Of subsoil
air, which is always open to suspicion,
be prevented. London Lancet

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

Health Hints sugRested by Some Of tho
Worlds Foremost PhysloiAns.
No person should bathe when the body
is fatigued by either mental or physical
labor, or Immediately after a meal.
Friction with pine oil is favorite
cure for rheumatic affections In Ger
many. and also for bronchial and throat
complaints. The aromatic. astringent
fragrance Of the oil, which is made from
resinous portions of the fir tree, has a
salutary effect in pulmonary cases.
II the feet are tender or painful after
long walking or standing, great relief
can be had by bathing them in salt and
water. A handful OF salt to gallon Of
water is the right proportion. Have
the water as hot as can comfortably be
borne. Immerse the feet and throw the
water over the legs as far as the knees
with the hands. When the water be-
comes too cool rub briskly with a fresh
towel. This method. If used night and
morning. will cure neuralgia Of the feet
A a recent meeting of the Societie de
Biologie, DR.. Laborderie read paper
on skin grating from the frog to man.
The experiment was tried in the case Of
a man whose feet had been burned by
molten lead. On one of the wounds
were put four gratis of human skin, and
on the other four gratis from the skin
of frog. All of these, it is reported,
took firm hold on the wounds. The
frog-skin gratis retained their peculiar
color few days, afterward changing
to the color of the human skin. The
wounds healed rapidly.
According to DR.. Leuf, when water
Is taken into the full or partly full
stomach. it does not mingle with tho
food, as we are generally taught, but
passes along quickly between the food
and the lesser curvature, toward the
pylorus, through which it passes into the
intestine. The secretion of mucus by
the lining membrane is constant, and
during the night considerable amount
accumulates in the stomach; some of
its liquid portion is absorbed, and that,
which remains is thick and tenacious.
II food is taken into the stomach when
in this condition itbecomes coated with
this mucus, and the secretion of the
gastric juice and its action are delayed. I
These facts show the value of a goblet
of water before breakfast. This washes
out the tenacious mucus and stimulates
the gastric glands to secretion. In old
mr. fpahla npreonq ,vatar ehould nat bo
taken cold, but it may be with great
taken warm. This removal
Of the accumulated mucus from the
stomach is probably one of the reasons
why taking soup at the beginning of a
meal has always been found so bene.

How a Babz,p lie was Saved.

Death, the grim monster, 10 fond
of entering the happy family circle,
and to cut down with his fatal scythe
the sweet, young blossoms of human
ity which cheer and brighten the
household; but often the keen edge
of his scythe can be averted by the
fond parents, If they will exercise
good Judgment in procuring an eff

Such a case is related below, and the
testimony given by the mother can
not fail to impress itself upon the
memory of all mothers who may be
called upon to undergo a similar ex-
perience, and who are anxious to
save their own baby's life from the
insidious attack of a disease which
poisons the very fount of life, to end
finally, In death.
Furthermore, the entire harmless
ness of s. s. s. is seen in the fact that
little four-months-old babies take II

Babies predisposed to scrofula should

Owned pair of fine fowls whose fair qualities
Through line of fine fowls of an eggselent

And Madam, the hen, had musical way

While Sir Cockoorum would Join In the lay.
And once on time in the cold of the year,
When eggs they were scarce and when eggs they
were dear,
Still daily their cackle was truthful and clear.
And ere their commendable labors did cease
A bountiful basketful showed the increase,
All fresh and all fair and worth four cents apiece
Since eggs they were scarce and since eggs they
were high.

And long ere these efforts for profit did cease
An overstocked market had felt the increase,
And eggs they were selling for one cent apiece.

Brought forth her full basket without delay
From where she so lately had slowed 1t away.

At twelve cents a dozen they're cheaper than

The Crime in Cities.

There is fostering, seething mass of
misery and crime in our great cities and
towns which it is awful to contemplate.
Do you know that in Glasgow at this
present time out of every hundred
families there are forty-One who eat,
sleep and live-yes, and die-in one
single small room? Do you know that
in the great city of London, with all its
boosted wealth and luxury, nearly one
million of people are living in misery
and vice and crime which language
cannot describe? Do you know that
one out of every nine of its inhabit-
ants dies in work-house ward And
do you know that eighty thousand young
girls, once innocent and pure, earn their
daily bread by lives of sin and shame :?
| do not know a sadder sight than to
stand, as ! have often stood, at night
by the doors of some great gin-palace
in the densely-populated parts of Lon
don, or Manchester, or Leeds, and
watch the miserable, ragged, degraded
crowds of men and women passing in
and out, bartering their last sixpence
for gin, with the jail, or the work
house, or an untimely grave waiting
spots and devouring ulcers, sapping our
strength as a nation and eating up like
a cancer the life of the people; and that
statesman who shall strike with firm
and vigorous arm at the root and
causes of these evils will earn for him
self the imperishable gratitude of his
country. We must not depend en-
tirely on good laws. Good laws will do
much, but we may do something our.
selves by personal efforts and example.
Every man in Newcastle may do some
thing to lessen the mass of human
crime and misery around him. And
doing our best as electors and citizens
to support statesmen who will give us
wise and just laws, and as individuals
doing justly, showing mercy, loving our
neighbor as ourselves and, above all,
fearing God and keeping his command
ments, we may look for the blessing of
Jehovah to our nation and empire, for
his word is sure" the Lord upholdeth
the righteous. "-R. s. Allen, MP.
